Democrats to use House majority to push for ‘new green deal’ in 2020

After winning control of the House of Representatives Tuesday night, Democrats plan to counter the Trump administration on climate change policy, aiming to convince the American public of the seriousness of the problem ahead of the 2020 presidential election and the urgency of addressing it. “Climate change has to be one of our highest priorities,” Rep. Ro Khanna of California, the newest Democrat to join the bipartisan Climate Solutions Caucus, told Josh. “We should be voting on a bold new green deal to tackle climate change as one of the first three things we do during our first 100 days.”
